target: mips-sgi-irix6.5
configured with: ../configure --prefix=/soft/gcc-3.1
>Description:
	The following small example gives a SIG BUS when compiled with
	-mabi=64. Only happens with const arrays and a const offset. 
	In the assembly code a line .dword  a-16 combining
	the two can be found (possibly a problem on a mips (I'm not sure)).


#include <stdio.h>

static const int a [] = {
	0, 1, 4, 6, 
};

main(){
	int i = 0;
	
	for(i=4;i<8;i++){
		printf( "%d %d\n", i, a [i - 4] );
	}
}
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	Work around: remove the keyword const.
